Read what some of our YYoga Teachers' College students and graduates are saying:

200-Hour Teacher Training

"These practices, specifically, allowed me to gain my “voice” as a teacher and helped me discover the yoga teacher that I want to be."

"I feel the experience changed my whole idea of what yoga is." 

"This has been an amazing experience for me! I'm looking forward to module 2!"

"It's wonderful to be on a course where you feel you learned so much. This week was a wonderful experience."

"I loved this week!"  "Wonderful experience! Loved my fellow classmates."

"Loved the history. I really came in not knowing a great deal about most yoga styles."

"I feel I have not only grown as a yogi, but grown as a person." 

"I found it really outstanding how seamless the transition was to teaching, before I knew it I was teaching whole sections of sequencing with ease. I really enjoyed the feedback from Rachel and Erica." 

"Thank you! I've already put some of what I have learned to use and it's empowering!"

YHot

"YYoga's 80-Hour YHot teacher training has provided me with the tools and confidence to offer this style of yoga, and I am ecstatic to share it with my community."

"The YYoga staff and facility are world class! This 9 day course was such an amazing experience due to the professionalism and caring of every person involved. So very happy and proud that I found the courage and took the time to be here."

"I have grown so much in so many ways over the last 9 days and know that I will move forward in my life and my teaching with more confidence, clarity, self knowledge and sense of direction. I am so grateful to Alex for sharing his wisdom and beautiful spirit with us and to YYoga for all their incredible support. Thank you!"

Chris Chavez Path to Teaching

"I just wanted to write you a little note sharing with you how grateful I am for your leadership, teaching, guidance, compassion, love and all the other goods stuff you have in you that you have shared with me.

You truly are flowing in your path and true calling in life, your passion and gifts shine so brightly from you, I can't help but be graced by them as a student. You have helped me achieve and placed me on one of my true paths in life. I have longed for this goal for a long time. I have so much gratitude for everything you have given me and shown me, I feel I could burst with goodness. I am so excited for this new journey and all the teachings that come with it."

"Thank you Chris for your class, for your energy and the love you give to all of us. Thank you to both of you for choosing to live on the road and spread your knowledge. I am really looking forward to attend the immersion in March and to get to know you better and learn more from your teaching."

"Thank you Chris for all your teaching wisdom, your immersions are so transforming. You are also such a gifted teacher and healer. It's very cool and inspiring to watch you heal students with yoga."

"What a wonderful training! What a wonderful city Vancouver is! Was good to be with you both and all the fellow journeyers going through Immersion l this last week. Tonight I taught a class like I've never taught one before. I taught the class I've always imagined, but have not been able to do. I love you both for the gifts you give, thanks so much,"

"Wanted to thank you and your beautiful wife for a life transforming experience: I've been on a spiritual journey for awhile now, but the humility that I was graced with during our time together was liberating. I'm fairly new to yoga and I thought I had a pretty firm practice, but over the past five days I realized I've only just begun. 

Thank you for your patience with my injury; I learned a great deal about not forcing my body when it's in pain. 

It's with much gratitude and light that I thank you from the bottom of my soft little heart. 

Shanti, shanti, shanti!"

"Hello Chris, Ozlem and Sjanie,

I just wanted to let you all know that I taught my first ever paying yoga class as sole teacher. I got a job teaching an 8 week de-stress class for accountants in their office. 

So here I am, easing at an easy pace into being a yoga teacher. Can't flipping believe it! It may sound trite and you've probably heard this thousands of times, but taking this journey with you all has been literally life changing and incredibly personally enhancing.

Thank you all so much, I wouldn't have done this without you."
